The tribunal held that s.53A(4)(a)'s rateable-value multiples prescribe only a statutory minimum; reasonable compensation must equal the tenant's actual loss measured by the value of the tenant's expected future use of the premises (capitalised profit rent over the relevant period) plus an allowance for disturbance. Past occupation or sentimental attachment is not a monetary measure of compensation; sub-tenants are entitled to an apportioned share of the tenant's interest.
